Re**al prolapse happens when the re**um pushes out through weakened pelvic floor support.
Symptoms may include:

a visible bulge from the a**s

leakage or incomplete emptying

discomfort or pain

Why early intervention matters:

pelvic floor physio, bowel and bladder retraining, and lifestyle changes can greatly reduce symptoms and sometimes delay or avoid surgery.

If you notice changes, don’t ignore them — getting assessed early makes all the difference.

Do men struggle with intimacy after their partner has a baby?”
It’s not something we hear spoken about often — but yes, they can.

Research shows that new dads may feel anxiety, fear, or even avoidance around intimacy in the months after childbirth. This isn’t always about s*x — it can be about closeness, affection, and the pressure of adjusting to a new role as a parent.

Some common reasons include:
Worry about hurting their partner physically after birth
Fear of rejection or changes in the relationship
Anxiety about being a “good enough” partner or dad
Fatigue, stress, or mental health challenges

As pelvic floor physios, we don’t just support women after birth — we also help partners navigate changes in intimacy, bladder, and pelvic health. Bringing both parents to a 6-week check can open up conversations, ease worries, and strengthen recovery as a team.”

Opening up conversations about intimacy — both emotional and physical — is so important. Postpartum changes affect both partners, and creating space to talk, seek help, and support each other can make a huge difference.

If intimacy feels difficult, know you’re not alone. Pelvic floor physiotherapists and other health professionals can support couples through this transition.

💡 Sometimes just starting the conversation is the bravest and most powerful step.
